The incident was confirmed by Russian-appointed governor Mikhail Razvozjayev on the Telegram messaging service early Friday afternoon. It has not been reported whether anyone was injured. – The headquarters of the fleet has been hit in an enemy missile attack, Razvozjajev wrote on Telegram. The governor also writes that all emergency services are on the scene, and that fragments from the rocket have fallen near the Lunacharsky Theater in the city. Images on social media show clouds of smoke rising from the impact site. As a result of the attack, the headquarters was left on fire on Friday. Razvozjajev states that the fire crew is continuing the extinguishing work, and that the situation is under control. Warns against new attacks Razvozjayev has also come out and warned against a new Ukrainian air attack, according to the Reuters news agency. – Attention everyone! A new attack is possible. Please do not stay in the city center. Do not leave buildings. Anyone in the vicinity of the headquarters of the fleet – at the sound of sirens, proceed to shelters, the governor writes on social media. Ukrainian authorities have not yet commented on the incident. Last of several attacks Ukraine has carried out a number of attacks with drones and rockets in the area in recent weeks. Last week they hit a Russian landing craft and a submarine that can carry cruise missiles near Sevastopol, writes NTB. The American think tank Institute for the Study of War (ISW) recently concluded that Ukrainian forces have destroyed an advanced S-400 air defense system in Crimea, as well as damaged another system of the same type. ISW believes this indicates that there are systematic and tactical problems with the Russian air defense on the occupied peninsula.
